Editable JComboBox and left display

My JComboBox is editable and when a selection is made the selection is shown. When the value (String) is to large for the field, only the final part of the String is shown.
I tried to set or move the caret position to 0 for the related JTextField obtained by
((JTextField) (TransferComboBox.getEditor()).getEditorComponent();).
I tried as well to left align by doing
JLabel jl = (JLabel) TransferComboBox.getRenderer();
jl.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
Nothing worked.

Where did you set the caret position? You will need to do it every time you select something from the list. I tried the following and it worked:
JComboBox cb=new JComboBox();
cb.setEditable(true);
cb.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    JComboBox cb=(JComboBox)e.getSource();
    JTextField editor=(JTextField)cb.getEditor().getEditorComponent();
   editor.setCaretPosition(0);
getContentPane().add(cb, BorderLayout.NORTH);
cb.addItem(longString1);
cb.addItem(longString2);

Using KeyMap in Editable JComboBoxes and JTable

I am using Keymapping for JTextFields. It works fine ! I am interested in extending the keymap feature to JComboBoxes and JTable.

if you want to do the keymapping inside the editable component of the combobox or the table, make sure you apply it on the editor component.e.g. comboBox.getEditor().getEditorComponent() and table.getCellEditor().getTableCellEditorComponent().

There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)

Maybe this will show up better in green.

ORacle 10g - Display database data, edit it and write back to database

Hi!
I would like to find an application which allows me to read data from a database (object-relational database schema), display it visually, make it editable and offer me the opportunity to write changed data to the database.
Does anyone have experience with Visio or some other tool?
Timo

Hi,
thank you for your replies!
I am not sure if the mentioned applications really are what I am looking for. It seems to me that they are developing tools rather than presentation and editing tools. I don't want to present or change the schema but the data of the database. The objects in my database are business processes and the user should be able to get all the information he/she desires about them, be able to edit them and also to create new processes. It's more like a GUI for end users.

PowerPoint 2010 arrows in series lines was displayed reversely between the edit mode and the slide show

I encounter a strange problem with the column chart in PowerPoint 2010 (or maybe the combinations of Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010). The directions of the arrows in Series Lines display in the reverse direction between the edit mode and the Slide
Show.
Here are the steps to recreate this phenomenon:
Open a new Presentation > Insert > Chart > Column > Stacked Column > Press OK
Excel pops up. Close Excel and return to PowerPoint.
Click on the chart > Layout > Lines > Select "Series Lines"
Right click on the lines and select "Format Series Lines"
Line Style > End Type > Choose "Stealth Arrow"
(well, could not paste an image yet... arrows display like <--)
When F5 was pressed (Slide Show)
(well, could not paste an image yet... arrows display like -->)
If you look closely at the directions of the arrows, they are display in the reverse directions. Anyone is having the same issue?
Thanks!
Chen

Hi，
Based on my tested both of the PowerPoint 2010 and
PowerPoint 2013, I reproduced the issue in my environment.
If I choose the End Type> Stealth Arrow(---->), it showed "<-----" in "Normal mode", but showed the "---->" in "Slide Show mode". It seems display correctly in "Slide Show mode".
We have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to make this scenario work better for our customers. Please wait for the issue is fixed. Thanks.

DWCS3 Template Editable Regions and Editable Attributes?

Using DWCS3 / WIN XP
New to DWCS3 and templates AND CSS but I'm managing I
think....
QUESTION:
is there a way to allow the end user to edit the content of
an editable region and also the attributes of the cell in which the
editable region resides?
SITUATION:
I'm building templates for pages (styled with external CSS)
that will be editable by the end user via Contribute. I've put
editable and repeating regions (imgs and navigation menus) in
particular tds and would like the end user to be able to change the
color of the background of the cells in which the editable regions
reside.....
Of course I get "cannot place an editable region inside an
editable region" .......understandable...i've read more than a few
help/tutorial docs......
So I thought that I should click the tag selector for that td
and Make Attribute Editable.....
That's not working either....I know I'm missing something
because I haven't used DW in years and I'm just not getting some
big picture logic......
EXAMPLE: In the .html page attached for viewing, the upper
left image SRC is in an editable region. I would like the
background color of the cell it is in to be editable as well. Same
goes for the background color of the left navigation menu which
resides in a nested table by the way...........but i still want the
color to be editable.....
Thanks so much for any help you can give....

Blank values for editable JComboBox

Hello,
I have a editable JComboBox that the user can erase its current value and if they simple change focus (like click on a text field on the same panel) the combo box is left blank. i would like to have it so that if the user leaves focus of the box and its blank that current value goes back to what it was before they erased it.
Many thanks,
Jonathan

JComboBox setSelectedIndex not displaying correct value

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or implementation issue.
When trying to use the setSelectedItem(int) method of JComboBox, what's being displayed in the panel is not the same item that is selected when you open the dropdown.
If you run the example code below a few times in a row you'll see that it eventually displays something other than "Item 2". However, if you open the combobox it will always display the correct value. So, just on a whim I surrounded the setSelectedIndex(int) call with the SwingUtilities.invokeLater method and it all started to work. I was able to run it 6 times in a row and always displayed the correct value. Whereas without it usually by the 3rd run, I'd see the issue.
So, my question is - Should I be putting all setSelectedXXX() methods in SwingUtilities.invokeLater methods? We originally found this issue in our JApplets. I made the code below so I could post it, but essentially it's the same thing. We do use Javascript to call back into the JApplet to set the indexes. I'm guessing I DO need to since we're dealing with different Threads and Swing?
Thanks,
- Tim

You do need to set the selected index from the EDT, as shown in the code you commented out. Or, the SwingWorker class is very useful for simplifying your threading code.
Also, if I may, I think Darryl is suggesting you also create the gui components in the EDT as well. People often use this construct in the main method since the main method is run in a separate thread from the EDT, just like the threads you create. It is technically not safe to make Swing calls from the main() method.

JComboBox is not displaying the down arrow..

jComboBox is not displaying the down arrow..
I was first using the "choice" component but was having problems with the size only on Unix. So I changed it to a jComboBox and I'm having problems on both NT and UNIX. First the down arrow doesn't show up on NT....and the drop down doesn't even show up on UNIX.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
pt

could be coz you have not left enough room for it on the layout of your JPanel?

How to create a report in Form line Style and can display Image field?

Hi,
In Report builder 10g, I would like to create a Report with Form Line Style and this report included a Image field.
I can choose this Style only when Select Report type is Paper Layout. Because, If I choose Create both Web & Paper Layout or Create Web Layout only then in the next Style tab 03 option Form, Form letter and Mailing Label be Disabled.
But in Paper Layout, my report can not display Image field.
I tried with Web layout and all the other Styles (Except 03 mentioned be Disabled) then all Styles are displayed Imager field OK.
How to create a report in Form line Style and can display Image field?
I was change File Format property of my Image field from text to Image already in Property Inspector. But report only showed MM for my Image field.
Thanks & regards,

Here you go..Just follow these steps blindly and you are done.
1) Create a year prompt with presentation variable as pv_year
2) Create a report say Mid report with year column selected 3 times
- Put a filter of pv_year presentation variable on first year column with a default value say @{pv_year}{2008}
- Rename the second time column say YEAR+1 and change the fx to CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)+1
- Rename the second time column say YEAR-1 and change the fx to CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)-1
Now when you will run Mid Report, this will give you a records with value as 2008 2009 2007
3) Create your main report with criteria as Year and Measure col
- Change the fx for year column as CAST(TIME_DIM."YEAR" AS INT)
- Now put a filter on year column with Filter based on results of another request and select these:
Relationship = greater than or equal to any
Saved Request = Browse Mid Report
Use values in Column = YEAR-1
- Again,put a filter on year column with Filter based on results of another request and select these:
Relationship = less than or equal to any
Saved Request = Browse Mid Report (incase it doesn't allow you to select then select any other request first and then select Mid Report)
Use values in Column = YEAR+1
This will select Year > = 2007 AND Year < = 2009. Hence the results will be for year 2007,2008,2009
This will 100% work...

What is the difference between list display and grid display in alv report

Hai genious
i am a new of the abap, i dont know the alv report, i have a small doubt, can u please tell me what is the main difference between list display and grid display in alv report
thanks&regards
chinnu

Hi ,
1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.
2. Some differences:
a) from abap coding point of view,
alv list is done with Function modules,
alv gris can also be done with FM,
but can also be done using OO concepts.
b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
designing the screen layout .
Hence, in one screen, we can show more
then one alv grid
(we cannot show more than
one alv list on one screen)
c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
present on the Presentation Server.
Hence, it consumes More Memory
on the presentation server.
d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
Whereas
ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
but not in alv list.
without horizontal lines
without vertical lines
without cell merging during sorts
display total lines above the entries
I hope it helps.
Regards,
Mamta

How can I use a FocusEvent to distinguish among editable JComboBoxes?

Hi,
I have a Frame with multiple editable JComboBoxes, but I am at a loss as to how to sort them out in the focusGained() method.
It is easy when they are not editable, because the FocusEvent getSource() Method returns the box that fired the event. That lets me read an instance variable that is set differently for each box.
But with editable boxes, the FocusEvent is not fired by the box. It is fired by a Component object returned by getEditor().getEditorComponent(). So far I cannot find a way to query that object to find the box it it tied to. (I hope this isn't going to be painfully embarassing.).
Anyway, the code below produces a frame with four vertical components: a JTextField (textField), a NON-Editable JComboBox (comboBox1) and two Editable JComboBoxes (comboBox2 & comboBox3).
This is the command screen produced by :
- Running the class
- Then tabbing through all the components to return to the text field.
I am not sure why, but it gives the last component added the foucus on startup.Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   This is the comboBox that Is Not Editable
Focus Gained - End: *******
Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   This Is The TextField
Focus Gained - End: *******
Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   Class: class javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxEditor$1
   Name: javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxEditor$1
Focus Gained - End: *******
Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   Class: class javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxEditor$1
   Name: javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxEditor$1
Focus Gained - End: *******
Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   This is the comboBox that Is Not Editable
Focus Gained - End: *******
Focus Gained - Begin: *****
   This Is The TextField
Focus Gained - End: *******As you can see, the FocusEvent source for both editable boxes is a MetalComboBoxEditor. Both have identical names.
Can anyone help me get from there back to the actual combo box so I can read the instance variable to see which one fired the event?

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
